Angular Contact Ball B. SKF 7206 BECBP

The SKF 7206 BECBP angular contact ball bearing, with a 30 mm bore and a 40-degree contact angle, provides precise guidance for combined loads.

The 7206 BECBP angular contact ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) in the SKF Explorer design. With a bore of 30 mm, an outside diameter of 62 mm and a width of 16 mm, the design accommodates both radial forces and single-sided axial forces. The integrated polyamide cage guides the rolling elements with low friction within a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius.

How does the 7206 BECBP angular contact ball bearing accommodate axial and radial forces?

The design is intended for bearing arrangements in which radial loads are combined with axial forces acting from one side. Thanks to the contact angle of 40 degrees, the bearing absorbs axial forces in one direction. For alternating axial loads, the bearing is installed as a pair in an O or X arrangement. When mounted in pairs, this design has a low axial clearance on the operating side.

What do the contact angle and tolerance class mean when selecting a bearing?

The nominal contact angle of 40 degrees determines the force transmission at an angle to the radial plane. In the design of the connecting components, the increased manufacturing precision facilitates precise fitting: the component has dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 and running accuracy to tolerance class P5. As an open bearing, this model has no integrated seals. The bearing housing therefore requires external sealing and a suitable lubrication system to prevent the ingress of contaminants and insufficient lubrication.
